But... I haven´t received it yet.. And they haven´t updated the website yet.. and the next month trick doesn´t work either.
The only thing I´m sure of right now is that I´ve had way too much coffe today.

Ahh, sorry! 
I'm pleased it's pretty much as a wrote it so any mistakes, you'll have to blame me, not SOS. 
Also, the boxout about Another Member of EM.com is there! Yaay! I was scared they'd cut it out due to space considerations.
I won't say who it is yet because I'm a tease...

BTW. any new additions to your modular rig? I guess you must have a wishlist?
I guess there are two strategies that will feel just right, preferably both at the same time..
1.) Always get new exciting modules..
2.) Get more of everything..
 The only problem I have right now is that the dotcom is so huge that if I´m to add another cab then I´ll have to put the beer fridge somewhere else.

Sadly, no. I'm going through very un-settled personal stuff so money is a bit of a worry.

Ahh, I would love to! I think I'd get some of the Tiptop stuff, maybe The Harvestman too?

Ahh, yeah! I was so tempted by the dotcom gear, particularly after your glowing endorsements. But I just haven't got the space!

Yeah, let's just say I looked round a lot of modular/synth forums but never d-cloaked on any apart from here. Too low a signal / noise ratio on most of them, too many pissing contests and weird cliques. I really can't be arsed with all that. Whereas, on here, there are hugely knowledgable people who are polite and helpful. No-brainer, really!

Thank you!
Yeah, it took me bloody ages to write. It was originally meant to be a two-parter but they liked it enough to combine it and make it a cover feature, which I'm very chuffed by.

Thank you! Apart from encouraging more people to visit this august forum, I do hope it makes people less scared of modulars. But I was very, very wary myself. E-m helped dispel a lot of that F.U.D. so thanks again to everyone on here!

No problem, matey! I felt the article needed grounding in someone who does day-to-day bread'n'butter work with a stupidly massive modular system. And that's you!

These huge modulars don't look (to me) like musical instruments but as altars where priests make sacrifices or offerings (emptying wallets  ) to a synthetic deity. they are imposing as gothic cathedrals.
I prefer the coziness of softsynths 
nevertheless it is a great article thanks for mentioning electro-music.com

This place is a great resource. I've got so much good advice from here, not just about modular stuff. Deffo top forum! [/img]

Yeah, I was very chuffed about that!
I think it's cool that SOS would take a chance one what seems, to a lot of people, quite a geeky area and stick it on the front cover.

Jyoti, what do you think about my EChucK project in the context of synth resurgence among the youth? It's like micro-mini synth modules hooked together into synth sculptures via solid wire. I can elaborate. The project is in it's infancy but has such great potential...
